With new sports channels popping up every day, there is
ever increasing exposure to live football. More live football equates to more
betting on the matches as people look to have an active interest in the games
they are watching. Betting exchanges are quickly becoming the preferred choice
of punters for their football betting, due to range of markets and ability to
trade in and out of games, locking in a profit.

Unlike traditional bookmakers, betting exchanges offer the
ability to bet on football teams to lose as well as win. Individuals can now
side against teams they do not want to win a game, and do not have to worry
about it being a draw. As long as the team they have bet against does not win
the match, the customer profits. Furthermore, not only do betting exchanges
allow bettors to bet on teams to lose, but they also allow them to do this
throughout the course of the match. Live betting is very useful, as not only
does it enable punters to make more informed decisions based upon the run of
play etc. but also it allows individuals to trade on games. Trading is the
process of backing/laying a team and then striking the opposite bet when the
odds become advantageous. This may occur when a team has scored a goal, or the
opposition has had a red card.

For
instance, Chelsea are playing at home to Tottenham. An individual believes
Tottenham cannot

win. He therefore places a lay bet on Tottenham for £10
at 4.5. The potential liability off this bet is £35 if Tottenham do win, but
the punter profits £10 if they fail to do so. Chelsea score in the tenth minute
and Tottenham’s odds are now 9.0 to win the game. By placing a back bet at 9.0,
the individual is now able to guarantee a profit of £5 regardless of the final
result, as if they do go on to lose, he takes

£10
profit from lay bet - £5 back bet stake

Or

Pays out £35 if Tottenham go on to win the game, but
makes a profit of £40 from the back bet at odds of 9.0

Betting exchanges can help eliminate the risk associated with
traditional betting. Once the team you have struck a bet on are in the lead,
you can generally close the bet for a profit. Placing lay bets at the

80th minute during live betting can eliminate late
heartbreak.
